Words in English
I am not well, Mother, I am not well.
Ach, go fetch the doctor.
He said I wonít die, I the poor one,
and wonít fade away.
I have loved, mother, I have loved.
Ditterly, I the miserable one have regretted it,
ach, mother, I didnít listen to you.
Bring the decanter and come, Litsa to fill it, to fill it
from the fountain in the middle of town,
so we can come to an understanding, to agree.
Litsa, Litsa, Vangelitsa,
Donít poison yourself, donít poison yourself.
Sunday morning Iíll take you,
youíll be free, youíll be free.
Litza, Litsa, Vangelitsa,
Iíll bring also violins of the Khalkya brothers
so that everyone can have a good time
with joy and gladness.
